How to make Guilt-Free Cheeseburger Casserole!


Listen Later

Hey everyone!! Here's the recipe for today! Enjoy! :)

Ingredients:

· Salt and black pepper

· 8 oz. of elbow macaroni or penne (you can use whole wheat for a healthier dish!)

· 2 tsp olive oil

· 1/2 cup finely chopped onion

· 1 tbsp finely minched garlic (1 tbsp of garlic =3 cloves)

· 1 lb ground turkey

· 1 tsp steak seasoning

· 1 (14.5) can of diced tomatoes, if you want

· 2 tbsp tomato paste

· 1 tbsp yellow mustard

· 1 tbsp dill pickle relish

· 6 slices (6 oz) reduced-fat cheddar

Kitchen Tools:

· Rubber spatula

· Pan for cooking the turkey

· Pot to boil pasta

· Colander

· Glass baking dish

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Farenheit

2. Bring a medium pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the pasta in, whichever type you prefer, I use elbow. Cook until al dente, drain and set aside.

3. While you’re making the pasta, get a large pan and heat over medium-high heat. Add the Olive Oil and heat it up a little. Add the onion and garlic and sauté, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute.

4. Add the turkey and steak seasoning, mixing it all together. Cook it up, stirring frequently, until the turkey is browned on the edges (the turkey may not be fully cooked, just slightly pink still, it will finish cooking in the oven). Drain the juices that accumulate.

5. Add the canned diced tomatoes, tomato paste, mustard, and relish. Mix it all together. Reduce heat to medium. Remove the mixture from the heat and stir in the pasta. Smooth down the top. We want it nice and flat so that cheese cooks evenly. Lay slices of cheese evenly on top of the casserole. Now we’re ready to bake!

6. Place casserole in the oven and bake until the cheese is melted, about 18-22 minutes. Once it’s done, remove it from the oven, and don’t forget to turn the oven off! Garnish with diced tomatoes (if you like), a little salt and pepper, and let it cool before serving!

This should serve about 6 hungry mouths! Thank you again for checking out my podcast! I really appreciate it!
